Talk show host and comedian Conan O'Brien is returning as Oscars host for the second time.

In an interview with "Good Morning America" ahead of the 2026 awards show, O'Brien teased that there could be "a lot of possibilities" in store.

"Early on, you just generate possibilities for the show: 'What might we do?' You have to wait and see which movies are nominated, what's in the zeitgeist, so there'll be a lot of ideas that come in late," he said. "Sometimes, those are the best ideas."
